Product: HP ENVY Notebook - 15-q493cl
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
I have a HP Envy 15-q493cl. I put an admin password on the bios 2 years ago and am unable to remember the password. Thankfully I remember my boot password. When doing the password wrong 3 times this is the code I get. I looked on the web to find the backdoor/default password but had no success with any of those. I am trying to update my bios is the reason.
Code: i 54945440
